If there is one thing that you can count on in IndyCar, it’s that we are not going to get a straightforward battle for the championship.
The battle often extends to the season’s final race. Current trends suggest the same outcome can be expected this year.

My Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Analysis
After winning the last race, Àlex Palou is now leading, but with upcoming races in Mid-Ohio and a doubleheader, his position is uncertain.
We are jumping way too far ahead, though, so let’s stick to this weekend and the Honda Indy 200.
Here are a few of the drivers who should be in the hunt to take the checkered flag.
^Àlex Palou
With 2 world championships in the last 3 seasons, Palou is certainly the man to beat once again in 2024.
He lagged during the season but reclaimed the lead in the driver standings by winning the last race in Monterey.
Àlex now has 2 official wins on the season that count toward championship points, as well as a win in the $1 Million Thermal Challenge in the early part of the season.
Furthermore, he seems a good bet this weekend, as he won this race last year and has never been worse than 3rd in 3 attempts.
^Will Power
It was a short-lived run at the top of the driver standings for Power, who was there for 1 week before slipping back down to 2nd overall.
He is almost certainly going to be disappointed with his 7th place finish in Monterey, especially after winning the previous race on the Road America track.
A disappointing performance puts him 26 points behind Palou. With more races ahead, he needs a stronger showing to stay competitive.
Power has been on the podium in this race in back-to-back seasons, and looks a good bet to land there again.

Scott Dixon
As he always seems to do, Dixon is hanging around the top spot in the driver standings on 253 points, 32 back of Palou.
Dixon has experience at #1 this season and aims for it again, given his impressive sport history.
He is, though, in a wee bit of a funk after back-to-back mediocre runs. It’s tough to ever count him out, and top 3 is probably a good way to play it safe.
^Colton Herta
In terms of winning this race, I would suggest that Herta would not be the way to go, as it is now over 2 years since he last won a race at this level.
^- Alex Palou +115
- Scott Dixon +330
- Josef Newgarden +330
- Wll Power +550
- Patricio O’Ward +1000
